[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dkperez:
Yes, EVERYTHING was copied to the Android folder OF THE SD CARD......

I have no problem installing yet another piece of software to (hopefully) get the necessary clrcad and haret files to run, but THIS WORKED TWO DAYS AGO. Without a bootloader or anything else. It worked.....

And yes, Google is quite effective. It showed me dozens of topics in forums where people complained of EXACTLY the problem I'm having. What it DIDN'T show me was a fix that didn't involve reformatting the SD card, REPLACING the SD card, doing a hard reset on the phone, and (this one I haven't seen before) installing a boot loader to hopefully get around the issue... BTW: all the above with the exception of the boot loader were tried by people with no success.

FWIW: I"m not criticizing any of the Android builds in here. I'm sure they're largely excellent, with slightly different flavors. And they represent a huge amount of work, of which I'm cognizant and appreciative.

I presume the problem is with Windows Mobile, NOT the Android builds, but it would be comforting to have somebody provide a solution to why it works when installed, and doesn't work after a reboot. Did all those other people that had the same problem do what I did six months ago and just give up on Android as being more work than it was worth? This isn't an isolated problem, there are dozens (and probably hundreds) of instances of people not being able to get Android to boot.

Anyhow, I"ll go find an exceller bootloader and try that. Hopefully, the thing is controllable so if things still fail I can get back to Windows...

I spoke too soon....... It's early here (having started this again at 04:00), and maybe my brain just isn't working yet, or it could VERY possibly be that I'm just too stupid to be allowed to mess with this whole thing, but I eventually found a copy of EBL2.1a._PlusUbuntu.CAB and downloaded it to the PC.

Then I went and found instructions on installing a cab file on the HD2. According to them I just COPY the cab file from the folder on the pc to My Documents on the SD card of the phone, then disconnect the phone from the PC, navigate to the folder, and click on the cab file.......

OK, sounds simple enough....... Did so.

Got a popup on the phone that said it was "Installing ..." At the bottom I got "The program is from an unknown publisher... Do you want to continue?"

So, I clicked YES...... Again, fairly idiot-proof........

And got "Installation of EBL2.1a._PlusUbuntu.CAB was unsuccessful."

Nothing else.... Just the message on a blank screen...

I"ll leave out the amount of screaming and swearing I"m doing at this point.....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EKhatch1:
I dowloaded ROM Manager from the market and used the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option to upgrade to the latest verion of CWM.

From the ROM Manager application it says the current verion is 3.0.0.8 but when I reboot into recovery the phone still says v2.5.1.2. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jskolm:
in ROM manager hit Menu >> Settings and check the box for Erase Recovery. This will erase your current recovery before flashing the new one to give you a clean flash.

Then just hit Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. It should attempt to flash it again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EKhatch1:
Okay I did that and it didn't work so I cleared the download cache from the menu setting and tried again. It appeard to work but when I reboot into recovery my phone still says it is on v.2.5.1.2

Maybe this is a sign I should just leave my phone alone for a while. lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
Just manually flash it. ROM Manager was doing that to me too. I hate using ROM Manager... lol. I flash stuff manually myself because then I know is going on.

http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=85

For AMOLED: use 3.0.0.7 (some have reported problems with 3.0.0.8 on AMOLED).

For SLCD: use 3.0.0.8

Rename the zip you download to "PB31IMG" (without quotes) and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot to HBoot and flash the update when prompted (by pressing Vol Up).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Don't forget to delete the zip after it successfully updates. To add onto CarngeX, the zip should be named: PB31IMG.zip
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EKhatch1:
Okay thanks. I had never even tried ROM Manager for anything else. I always load ROM's manually but I thought it would be way more complicated to update than you showed me. It's all good now. Thanks again. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
Reason I just said "name it to PB31IMG" is because a lot of times people have file extensions hidden, and they end up naming it to "PB31IMG.zip.zip" and it causes more problems lol.

Glad you got it running.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soft pillowcase:
I'm just curious, I've updated my cwm to 3.0.0.7 already through rom manager, but I had previous tried doing it like this through recovery using a .zip. When it prompts for the update, is it just passive? Like you enter hboot and then wait until it asks if you want to upgrade?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
When you boot to HBoot, it should check for a PB31IMG.zip file on your card. If it finds one, it'll ask if you would like to update or not.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soft pillowcase:
I guess I didn't package it right since I would see it scan for it (quickly, so I couldn't see what it was saying exactly), but it didn't offer me any option to update afterwards. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Then it's probably not named correctly (needs to be exactly PB31IMG.zip, check for hidden extensions), or your SD card isn't formatted to fat32.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soft pillowcase:
Thanks, I think it's the formatting issue; I'll try again soon.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caaznkid:
I was wondering what the best i/o scheduler is for our device? I see everyone in DEV recommending us to use CFQ but is there any noticeable difference between any of the other i/o schedulers such as noop anticipatory and deadline?

And if anyone could point me towards somewhere where I could read and understand a bit about what an i/o scheduler is exactly...that'd be awesome. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
I have read that noop is good to use. I believe I also read that BFQ yields the best performance but only some kernels have that option.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
I have always used cfq, but its because im a linux guy.. ive recently been guided to look into noop, and i believe that it is the best for solid state or flash devices, because it leaves the performance optimization to the storage subsystem (xsr). not wasting resources doing double work.. flash drives dont need data grouped together close on a platter like physical disk to reduce seek time..

EDIT: BFQ is like an enhanced CFQ, and thanks to decad3nce for pointing me to look more into NOOP
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xopher.hunter:
Where does that leave deadline? I always see it as an option
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
deadline is mainly used in database application servers.. it basically means each read or write transaction has a deadline.. usually 400ms on a read, and 3-5s on a write. best for high performance platter disc, and it queues the reads and writes, not really practical for a workstation, or a phone. definately not a good idea for a battery operated device imo, even with a journal, because a 3-5 sec queued write, even with a journal, which still has a commit time after that, you could lose data even with a journal.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caaznkid:
I'm using the Genocide Kernel, and latest voltage control app, but it seems to not have BFQ as an option, so I'll give noop a try. Thanks (:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JudasD:
recently i have been seeing issues where i will not hear the phone ring, but i will get the voice mail. I will also place calls via google voice and i have to retry many times before i even get the incoming call to ring the phone. I also have to hit retry quite often throughout the day while using the data. I have as app the shows my signal quality in the notification bar and i am always -86db or -91db in my home. My wife has an epic and hers is working just fine. This started to happen right around ee03 coming out. I have gone back to ee03, ec05 even di18 with eclair! and i still see the issues. any ideas why my phone would be doing this?

Thanks,

JD
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caaznkid:
When referring to ee03, ec05, di18, etc. are you referring to the ROMs or were you just flashing different modems? I would try backing up all your apps and data and then odin back to stock and go from there.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JudasD:
I have tried both, just the modem as well as the rom and the modem. I even went back to the factory DI18 eclair rom and modem to see if that fixes anything. I still have the missed calls problem. I have never seen anything quite like this before.

JD
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caaznkid:
:( I'm sorry to hear that, is your phone still under warranty? Maybe you can get a refurbished from sprint or something. Good luck.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JudasD:
this is really weird. I have had my epic since oct 2010. This issue started around may of this year. I had figured that maybe me upgrading the modem had some lingering effects. I've tried all other modems and they do the exact same thing. I want to lean towards the hardware because even a factory reset OS does the same thing. My wifes epic works just fine and i never upgrade hers. Has anyone else seen issues after upgrading modems?

Sorry, cannot post in the Android Development section as less than 10 posts.

I have been reading through this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113820

And also this thread here :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15493125&postcount=1

Before proceeding, just want to clarify the instructions as the first link mentions about re-naming 'PG88IMG.zip' whereas the second link gives instructions below but mentions nothing about re-naming the file ?

Also, which file is the correct / latest file ? (I assume the first one as this was updated and edited on 21 July 2011).

I have already 'S-off' with AlphaRevX with HBOOT now showing as 6.98.1002

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
From my understanding there is no reason NOT to use the ENG hboot once you've applied alpharevx even though that process patches your hboot so that it has the same functionality

EDIT: unless your intention is to return to stock via RUU, as eng hboot can be over written whereas alpharevx can't.

EDIT: ENG is probably best way to go, have amended this comment!
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
The file needs to be renamed PB88IMG in CAPS. This method does work but in this instance it didn't work for me, and I had to push it via adb.

In my opinion eng h/boot is the better option, if your phone develops a fault an you have to RUU you've have one less hurdle to clear on a faulty phone.
[HTC Desire S] poppy8x:
I tried, but it didnt work with me. U can try by this (it worked with me) :

1. download PM88IMG.zip from theard ENG HBOOT for alpharevx S-OFFed phones

2. Extract zip file and then rename to hboot.img.

3. Put the hboot.img you want to flash in the root of the sdcard.

4. In cmd run the following commands (after each command press enter):

adb devices

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img

dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

reboot bootloader

Done. Now u have ENG hboot s-off, if you want to Eng hboot S-on u can download file PM88IMG.zip from theard Tutorial] How to restore stock ROM and S-On after AlphaRevX S-Off
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
+Remember that the extracted file in this instance should be named hboot.img

After that, can I use official update from HTC via OTA? Rooted phone with clockworkmod recovery...
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
I wouldn't!
[HTC Desire S] MarsDroidXDA:
if you ask a dev pll would say no reason NOT to use ENG.

plz DONT stop pll ben ..ENG hboot is the only way to go.

I now agree, so have amended my earlier post so as not to mis-lead people.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnkond:
Hello everybody!

I am new on the Samsung galaxy tab's world and I need your lights.

I bought from my Country the Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 with the below features:

PDA: P1000BUJMC

Phone: P1000BUJM2

CSC: P1000njRjm3

I followed your guide (showthread.php?t=888071) and the process was failed somewhere before the end.

After I followed some other guide and I use some other files from the thegalaxytabforum and from samfirmwares.com sites and after I see that my Tab features had been changed to the below:

PDA: P1000BUJMC

PHONE: P1000BUJM2

CSC: P1000VD2JM3.

Also I observe some changes on my Tab. These are:

a. The local settings has been changed to German.

b. After I used an application which I don't remember now, the functions keys light has been dissapeared.

c. I Listen a noise when I try to call.

So, I have some queries for you:

1.Which of the two process above is the correct?

2.How to reback my country's settings? Is there any secret code for it?

3.How to switch on the light on the menu,home, back and search keys?

4.How is the correct proccess to upgrade my tab firmware -if there is the correct firmware on my tab now-to android 3.0 -honeycomp like Samsung Galaxy tab 10.

5. What is the operation of PIT,PDA AND CSC files?

6.what is the difference between a protected and non protected bootloader?

7. Does PDA is the Bootloader?

8. Does the protected Bootloader mean that the phone is locked from the provider?

9.How to change a protected Bootloader with a non protected?

10.Are there different upgrades for the samsung galaxy tab for every country or not?

11.Can I find and download an other country upgrade for my tab? Is it right or not?

12.Can I fix the above problem with call? Is there any secret code to fix it?

I am waiting for your replies.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Friend, you didn't say what guide you were using, and what was your goal.

I will pass on all your other questions until we get the rom flashed properly.

You made a great profile!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnkond:
Friend rangercaptain, I tried to install the Honeycomp or Android 3.0 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000.

If you read again my thread you will see somewhere in the middle that I write for the xda-developers.com guide.Also, I write that I used files from thegalaxytabforum.com and samfirmware.com sites.

So, my problems are three:

1. I want to re-install the frist default settings on my Tab and I don't know where I can find these files on the internet.

2. I want to recover the functions keys light or better the light on the screen's menu.

3. I want after setup of First Default Settings , to install the Honeycomp on my Tab of 7 inches same like Samsung Galaxy Tab 10's firmware.

I believe that I explained you what is my goal and what I want to recover on my Tab.

Thank you for your reply and for your time.

I am waiting for your answers,

John

You can get JMC rom at www.samfirmware.com.

Although your country is Greece, what carrier is your tab from? Maybe there is a stock rom from your carrier.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnkond:

Could I found something about it?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
You can start a new thread asking someone to extract a backup of that carrier stock rom. Then you can flash it like any rom. Start the thread, and I'll help you.

Be sure to put the carrier in the title and be specific about what you want.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnkond:

Before jumping on me, I ask that you read the whole post first.

Yes, I understand that at this point there is no root for the Gingerbread OTA on Droid X.

So I have two questions:

1. Gingerbreak - this application doesn't do the trick?

2. If not, my question is, if there's no root as of now, is there at least progress? Has anyone heard anything regarding the situation?

[General Questions and Answers] kpsmithuk:
Last night flashed generic 2.3.3 from forum to phone. All running fine till today. Sometimes when exiting apps its like the home app has restarted. I lose the icons either side of the app drawer button then they come back. Weirdly if i go into the drawer lots of the icons have been replaced by empty space or a grey box. Then they slowly re appear. Anyone ever had this? All the menu order settings default also. Returning to my setting when what i guess is the home app finishes re loading.

Seems to be a memory issue. Unstalled swiftkey which was munching memory and turned off the timescape auto update and removed widget now seems to have fixed memory issue and freed up about 60 mb of memory. Now got 60 free constant
[General Questions and Answers] kpsmithuk:
And the problem is back within 20 mins. Definatley a memory issue I thought, time to clear some apps out! Its doing it when they all open to do updates even when set not to!

Now I've turned phone on and off for 1st time since turning on after flashing and not used my task killer all day - not a problem no crashes, no lag, swiftkey re-installed. No other programs removed. Phone very fast and responsive, battery drain considerably less.

Will try with timescape again but have it set to manual refresh and see how it goes.

Ok, here some error I met now, basically my mp3 works well, but after I open WiFi and then close it...during I listen mp3 and it will appear a bit laggy like hanging awhile for each 5 seconds and it does keep repeating unless I restart device then it works well again. Is it error from sense 3.0 after open WiFi then will crash with mp3?? And this situation happens too for phone ring tone once I close WiFi. Anyone face this problem before? I'm wondering is it my device spoil or not :(

I tried several ROM and this problem still same...

Also, it happens after i close the WiFi, during watching video the sound also will stop a second like that... But when I open back WiFi or restart device, everything backs to normal. Can anyone tell me the solution? Quite headache and inconvenience actually...

Hey Shendoz,

another awesome member said turn off the viber service - this works for me so far, so if your using viber as well. Try stopping the service :)

you can also check if you have application running in background that auto connects to the network...

thanks a lot, although i failed it at 1st when i just force close the viber, but i manage to solve it after i uninstall the app, really a million thanks to u guys~ ^^

Looks like Google is ready to take it to 'em. And this is correctly targeting *all* parties involved. Not just Apple. And I'm glad to see Google stand up and wallop. I hope Google balances out the situation because Google is the only real and true, "worthy" company among them all. Google stands for humanity. The others stand for profits at all costs. With Google here, the others are usable and enjoyable. Without Google here, the others are the ruination of the industry.

How exactly would Google bidding with MS help them? They need patents to defend themselves from MS, to establish a MAD situation. They can't do that with patents that are jointly owed by MS too.

And this all shows the BS-ness of patents. Where's the stuff about patents encouraging innovation and stuff? Nowhere. All I see is patents being bought as bargaining chips.

I mean, buying some patents and using them to sue is totally about someone copying what you invented, riiiiiiight. Because buying = inventing, sure.
